Hello Mud friends!
I've been rebuilding a 1970 FJ 40 I picked up several months ago. Due to Catastrophic engine failure (details I'll go into on a later post) I had to put in a very nice orginal 1969 F motor I found for a great deal. I can't decide if I should use the '70 carb and intake or the '69. I know jet sizes changed that year, as did the linkages. The '69 carb is on now, and fired right up, but I need a new accelerator cable to finish it off. Not a huge problem, but if for some reason the '70 is better, then I can pop that one on and it's good to go. I orginally thought it best to pair the carb to the orginal engine, but I thought I mind as well ask the experts while it's still easy to get to.
Much thanks for the input!
Kurt
